The List

[Guest guest]

Have the teachings of Jesus Christ or Christianity ever produced another

woman or man as great as Jesus?

 

 

 

Have the teachings of the Buddha or Buddhism ever produced another woman or

man such as the Buddha?

 

 

 

Has Islam ever produced another Mohammed?

 

 

 

Has the life, teachings and example of Ramana Maharshi ever produced one

such as he?

 

 

 

This is partially due to the fact that religions and teachers are limited

because of the limited nature of words and the limited nature of human

understanding.

 

 

 

To rise to that level of being ONE must cling to the Self alone. The Self

is expressed only imperfectly in the lives and words of all teachers and

gurus. How can it be any other way? For words and human lives themselves

are limited and can only point imperfectly to the life immersed in Self.

 

 

 

It seems that Ramana Maharshi did have a core message; but he also advised

persons in a diverse array of teachings and methods. He himself worshipped

Sri Yantra every week at the ashram and that practice carries on to this

very day. Actually, if we reflect deeply, we would have to admit that we do

not know all of the words that Ramana uttered to persons who sought his

advice. To assume that we have been able to place all of the teachings of

Ramana Maharshi in a box, and capture his whole being there, is folly.

 

 

 

There will never, ever be another Ramana Maharshi. Use his teachings to

rise to freedom, your own personal and individual freedom, a freedom

unfettered by the ignorance of the unenlightened. Life in the Self is free

and full of joy. Freedom and joy are the goal life.
